Abstract

The crystal structure of 5-ethyl-6-methyluraoil has been solved in the (001) projection. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1. The unit cell contains two molecules, and has dimensions 1/a∗ = 7.100 Å, 1/b∗ = 11.597 Å, γ∗ = 84.739°. The structure was solved through a sharpened Patterson map, which revealed the locations of the major ring vectors. Data have been gathered for a complete three-dimensional analysis, which is nearing completion.
